"We dined at a first-class restaurant in the West End," said Mrs. Paxton indignantly. "It would be much more to the point if you explained how you have been living the past few days. I have not been so worried about anything since George was trapped in that horrid mine." Mollie was on the verge of tears.
Beyond this circle, again, there was a miscellaneous zone, where dwelt politicians ranging from John Bright to Arthur Balfour; poets and men of letters, such as Tennyson and Browning, Thackeray and Motley and Laurance Oliphant; Paxton the gardener-architect and Hudson the railway-king; stars of the musical world, such as Mario and Grisi and Rachel; blue-stockings like Lady Eastlake and Madame Mohl; Mademoiselle de Montijo, who captivated an Emperor, and Lola Montez, who ruled a kingdom.

"Well, I can testify that Ritter hit you first, and Pepper and Brown can do so, too," answered Fred. "Reff will get Coulter and Paxton to back him up." "But they weren't on hand when the quarrel started." "That is true but they'll stick up for Reff, see if they don't." "I sincerely trust that Captain Putnam doesn't take away your majorship, Jack."

"See what you can do!" "Don't give him a chance, Dale! Yank him right over the line!" cried one of Dale's friends. "I'll bet Pepper Ditmore loses," said Nick Paxton, who was present.
